welcome to this weeks woodturning video.
Woodturning - Curly Beech Platter (hidden bark inclusion)
In this woodworking video I use a woodturning lathe to turn a piece of air dried curly beech into a shallow bowl/platter
when woodturning a piece like this I like to take away layers until I see what shape the wood wants to be and which part of the wood is going to have the best effect, this is what i find so enjoyable about woodturning.
This piece of beech had a huge bark inclusion running right through the centre, normally i would leave this untouched but this one made the piece structurally weak, my solution in this case was to fill the void with CA glue and sawdust. had i have had epoxy resin to hand this would have been a good opportunity to add some colour. as it turned out i like the subtle impact of the sawdust filler
